Sorry for the delayed reply!
Thanks for the FLIRC tip. I wasn't aware of it! My old IR remote came with a USB IR receiver, but it's clearly past it's sell by date!
After doing some research I'm either going for the FLIRC unit and a new remote handset, or the OSMC Remote (OSMC Remote Control - OSMC). OSMC Remote is edging it at the moment due to the simplicity of the handset. I'll decide over the weekend.
Thanks for all the input.

Flirc + "any IR remote you want to use" is always a winning combination.
Not in my case
My old remote is a Chinese IR MCE copy which worked OK with my old x86 based setup. Basically doesn't work (almost) at all with my new shiny RPi4 system. Pause seems to work if I press it long enough, the other buttons don't do anything.
Are there any IR remotes you can recommend which are 'plug and play' on a LE RPi setup? -
Hi folks,
I've just refreshed my Kodi setup with Libreelec running on a RPi 4 - and very nice it is too. BUT my cheapo MCE 'type' IR remote really doesn't work well with the new setup. It's also been chewed by the dog several times, so I'm thinking of treating myself a new remote. TV is oldish and CEC is unlikely to work.
Can anyone suggest a good, basic remote control for Libreelec that's "plug and play" on a RPi 4?
TIA
